Good luck. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pink-eye-2#post-2223569 Wed, 01 Jul 2015 08:46:00 +0000 avivoca 2223569@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would keep him home another day. Could they give you oral meds for it? When H had pinkeye, she got oral meds that cleared it up within a day (she still had to take them for 10 days). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pink-eye-2#post-2223565 Wed, 01 Jul 2015 08:43:20 +0000 Mamasig 2223565@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Always put medicine in both eyes! The other eye is bound to catch it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pink-eye-2#post-2223498 Wed, 01 Jul 2015 07:44:04 +0000 tinyperson 2223498@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would keep him home. My Dr has always advised to do drops in both eyes for pink eye because it's so contagious - and babies/kids touch their eyes a lot. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pink-eye-2#post-2223495 Wed, 01 Jul 2015 07:41:51 +0000 hellobeeboston 2223495@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would keep him home as it's probably contagious still. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pink-eye-2#post-2223448 Wed, 01 Jul 2015 06:07:10 +0000 Becksabee 2223448@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My 8 month old (as well as myself) came down with pink eye on Friday. I kept him home for the 24 hours and started him on the eye drops just in the affected eye. </p> <p>Yesterday, we picked him up from daycare and the other eye is infected now. I'm actually a little annoyed at our babysitter for not noticing - it was pretty obvious. The eye goop was dried all around his eye. Anyway, I'm just debating on whether I should keep him home for another 24 hours since I just started giving the eye drops in this eye last night. </p>
